Creating snapshots


Snapshots are an exciting feature in Qlik Sense that enable users to capture the point-in-time state of the data object. Snapshots work as insights for a story, which will be discussed in later recipes.

Getting ready

For the sake of this exercise, we will make use of the Automotive.qvf Qlik Sense application. This application is downloaded as a sample file with the default Qlik Sense desktop installation and can be accessed through the Qlik Sense hub.
